Chapter 610 I helped the Red King wipe his butt
Xu Ning's voice echoed in the vast emptiness as he quietly awaited Appepp's reply.
After a moment, Nasita suddenly exclaimed with delight, "The fire is lit!"
Xu Ning smiled and raised his wine gourd to moisten his dry throat. He had just shouted with all his might, and his voice was almost hoarse.
However, before he could even take two sips, as the flame grew brighter, the huge void in front of him began to emit a terrifying attraction.
Whether it was Xu Ning, Nasida, or the two mushroom beasts, they were sucked into another space almost before they could even have a thought of resistance.
"At least make a sound, or the wine gourd will spill."
Xu Ning sighed, turned over and sat up, then reached out to help Kun Kun Zhenxun beside him.
Nasita stood steadily to the side, looking around at the scenery.
"It seems we've already entered Appepp's body..."
Hearing Nasita's words, Xu Ning stood up and rubbed the unhealthy yellowish-green grass on the ground with his foot. "...The environment is really harsh. It seems that Apep is in really bad shape. That thing hanging up there that looks like a green heart should be the Oasis Heart that Dog Mushroom mentioned, right?"
Nasita carried the fire seed down and nodded, saying, "Yes, as long as we light it with the fire seed, it should be able to operate on its own and provide Apep with elemental power to repair His damaged body."
"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's deal with him quickly and then leave. It seems like this guy doesn't really like either of us."
Xu Ning urged, sipping his drink.
Although he knew that the Grass Dragon's lifespan could probably be counted from the time it came to Teyvat.
Perhaps we can learn many secrets about Teyvat from Him.
But as soon as Xu Ning heard the emphasis this guy placed on the two of them, he knew that it would be difficult to get any useful information out of him.
Although I don't know how I offended Him, I think it's probably a debt owed by my previous incarnation as the god of wine.
Even though he seems to be constantly taking the blame, Xu Ning is actually quite happy to be spared the burden of taking the fall.
Xu Ning had also come into contact with the crystal known as the 'Fire Seed'. In fact, it was just a highly concentrated mass of grass elemental energy, but it was programmed to flow according to a fixed rhythm and form, and it wasn't anything special.
As long as this energy enters the heart of the oasis, helping Apep's elemental forces to circulate and connecting the energies of the inner and outer worlds, He will soon be able to repair Himself completely, even better than before.
After all, this guy is also a master of manipulating grass elemental power, and the best aspect of grass elemental power is replenishing and prolonging life energy.
Nasita slowly brought the "fire" in her hand toward the almost lifeless "heart" hanging in mid-air, and the two merged together without any suspense.
Watching the heart of the oasis slowly emit a green light, as if it were breathing, flickering on and off.
"That's it? It doesn't seem like anything has changed." Xu Ning looked at the grass under his feet, which was still that unpleasant yellowish-green color.
Nasita looked at the flickering Oasis Heart above and murmured, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, over the long years, the power of the fire has been dissipating. The elemental power stored inside simply cannot support Apep's enormous body."
As if she had suddenly made up her mind, Nasida solemnly walked up to Xu Ning and made her request.
"Xu Ning, please do me a favor. After my power disappears, please help me plant myself back in the land of Sumeru!"
Xu Ning instinctively refused, saying, "No, don't ask me for anything. I won't agree to anything. By the way, what do you want to do? Are you going to sacrifice yourself for that dog Zhenxun? Is it worth it? We've already gone to such lengths for Him, even bringing back the fire. We've already been scolded and beaten enough. Are you going to give up your life for Him too?"
Nasita smiled and said, "Since entering here, my memories have become clearer. Healing Apep is my responsibility, and I am not sacrificing myself for Him. As long as you plant me back, I can still use the power of the forest to communicate with this world. It's just that you won't be able to see me for the time being."
"That's not OK!"
Xu Ning was arguing with Naxida when two mushroom beasts rushed over to stop them.
"Stop arguing. We are very grateful to the King of Grass for his protection and generosity, but this is our home, and it is our responsibility to protect it..."
Suddenly, a vibrant green light emanated from the bodies of the two mushroom beasts, and they slowly floated into the air.
What are they doing now?
Xu Ning felt a sense of unease and asked Naxi Da.
Tears welled up in Nasita's eyes as she said, "Do what I was just about to do..."
"Damn, you guys are all so restless!"
A sudden gust of wind arose around Xu Ning, and he flew to the side of the Oasis Heart in mid-air. With a flick of his gourd, a ring of wine formed from the gourd pushed away the mushroom beasts in mid-air.
"Don't rush to your death! Apep, are you dead or not? If not, come out and say something. Don't hide on the sidelines and watch others sacrifice for you, acting hypocritically."
Xu Ning roared angrily twice, and finally Apep's voice rang out again.
“These lives were all conceived by me using elemental power. Even though they have now reversed and become pure power that I have absorbed and merged with, they still have the opportunity to be born again. Why are you stopping me?”
Xu Ning laughed angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you lose all your emotions, memories, and knowledge, will the one reborn be the same one? Don't think that just because you gave birth to them, you can do whatever you want to them."
Appepp scoffed, "The same old rhetoric again. It was the first time I met you, and now you've changed bodies, but it's still the same old story. Looks like you haven't improved at all over the years. I've already paid a heavy price for my radicalism, and you'll pay the same price sooner or later. I'll be watching. But for now, get out of my way..."
Suddenly, several blades of grass sprouted from the Heart of the Oasis and lashed out at Xu Ning's face without warning.
Xu Ning dodged Apep's sudden attack by stepping back, cursing, "Ungrateful wretch, shameless scoundrel, you've lived this long life in vain..."
From the heart of the oasis, a monster resembling seaweed crawled out and chased after Xu Ning, uttering the sound of Apep.
"Ha, you call me ungrateful, but don't forget what I did for you. I cleaned up the mess for the Red King and paved the way for you."
